This Is Mine

Tom: G

INTRO: G  G/F#  G/E  G/D  C  Bm  C  D  G

                G/F#
I can bend back 
                   G/E
And reach the days
                    G/D
When everything was new
     C                       Bm
When witches were birds that lived in trees
     C                      D            G
When dreams were movies god made for me


                 G/F#
I talked to dogs 
                                 G/E
I knew why trees and kids cried
                   G/D 
Why snow was white
                C
Why people died
                    Bm
In show and tell, I talked about the shapes of clouds
    C                                D
And all the schoolyard angels who protected me


CHORUS:  Em
         C    Em 
And I am here
            C    Em
And this is mine
         C      Bm
I'm everywhere
          C    D   G  G/F#  G/E  G/D  G
Flying in line


                   G/F#
Always looking for    
                G/E
A place to rest
               G/D
I hid in trees
                  C
And built my nest
                  Bm
I made my nest of buried things
        C                              D               G
And the roots ran like secrets through six year rings


                           G/F#
I found that secret places
                   G/E
Were better places
                   G/D                      C
Nicer places, that villains could not find
             Bm                      
I do not lie,  these places are mine
C                             D
I lean and bend, to where I begin and end


CHORUS:  Em
     C    Em 
I am here
            C    Em
And this is mine
         C      Bm
I'm everywhere
          C             
Flying in line, in line


CHORUS:  Em
         C    Em 
And I am here
            C    Em
And this is mine
         C      Bm
I'm everywhere
          D   
Flying in line
